The test is always to try to take something out of the loop and see if the buzz goes away. Did you try plugging your laptop into an extension cord and plug it into a separate circuit not in the same loop to see if that helps? What about the M-Audio MobilePre is it plugged in? Have you tried a stereo mini to RCA cable to go from your laptop straight into the Onkyo bypassing the M-Audio?
